Scuba's Second try - Sink or Swim!

scubaangel

Absolutely shatterered at the moment, too much work is so very bad for me, as are the late nights chatting to a friend whos stayed here for a couple of nights (down from his normal base due to Op Olympics) to avoid staying in the block with the rest of his guys - strangely my spare room with access to a proper shower is more appealing than the set up on camp - lucky for him I've been working early so can wake him up to send him off back to camp before he's been due at work! Still waiting to see if hes going to turn up again tonight - its his turn to bring the milk for the morning brews so he better had do, lol.

Booty calls work both ways, although it was interesting to be told at the gate that I don't look old enough to be married and I really ought to change the name on my ID's to save confusion in future.....

Possibly could have been warned about that one before I reached the gate with him!

Once again though am home from work with free food so am enjoying some toasted hot cross bun loaf while I have a brew and pack my stuff for work tomorrow morning.

Well my new hair cut is quick to wash and dry, and the length will hopefully save me money on shampoo and conditioner but it's going to take some getting used to!

Now it seems that I once again don't get a day off this week, that'll mean another 10 days before I get a day off and I'm already shattered. On the upside the overtime money will be useful although I'm not sure how useful since if I keep going like this I'm going to make myself ill!

For some reason I can't log in to my barclay card account to pay some off of it which is very annoying right now, but will have to try again this evening.

Managed to log in to Barclay card and make the payment, along with some extra as the balance has very decidedly crept up lately!

Also got my payslip with the last 4 weeks of insane overtime added I at least know I can cover my rent and bills next month while I carry on waiting for the council to deal with my LHA application.

Just applied for and been accepted for the MBNA life of balance card advertised in the latest email, so that at least can clear the barclay card, leaving that one to only be used for mystery shopping expenses - thus be paid off in full every month and gain me cashback for as long as they carry on offering it.

I've also had the email from my new car insurance company confirming they've got my proof of ncd paperwork. So now I just have to post my electoral roll form and the contract for my virgin media back to them and I think I have all my paperwork organised!!

All paperwork I had has now been dealt with and posted, which is a relief, need to call my LA in the morning before work as my LL still hasnt been in touch about fixing the garden fence or the kitchen light - both of which he wants to do himself.

After a couple of hours snoozing in the sun in the garden this afternoon I took myself out for a run, the realisation that I have less than a month before I go on holiday and have become lazy again in both my exersize and eating habits means its time to kick start both eating better and trying to exersize more, so this evening was a 3 mile run, was far too hot to run fast so averaged 11.5min/mile. If I wake up as ridiculously early as I have been doing because of work again tomorrow I'll go out and do a short run before it gets too hot, as that gives me time to shower and sleep some more - ideally the weather will be lovely again so I can go out and get some sun on my front since my back is tanning fairly well while my front is still nice and 'blue'.

I feel it, lol, although given the rain this morning I dont think it would have been worth lying out in the garden after my run - only did the 1 mile road route as I and my legs still felt tired from yesterday.

My LL is coming round over the weekend to try and sort out the fence and kitchen light which is a relief, and on logging in to my internet banking this morning I appear to have some money paid in by the council, so am waiting for the postie to see exactly what the situation is with that.

I also now need to pay the gas and leccy bill which is due today - was waiting on some money being refunded in to the account to try to avoid needing to take money out of my savings to cover it.

I've also had this months pay slip in, I reckon that I can cover most of this years ct bill from savings and my overtime but will sit and work it out to see if its worth while or keeping the cash in savings and just paying it monthly as I do now.

Hmm feeling a bit odd this evening, a mutual friend of my ex and I has been in my area collecting the ex to go on a road trip round Europe for a week, feeling a bit weird about the fact that he didn't let me know he was down here to meet up for a brew before collecting the ex from the train station. Then again when he's in London I do usually go in to meet him for a pint or two and the ex doesn't/won't regardless of if I'm going or not.
